Notes

A few issues and regressions came up with the r458 release, and this release aims to correct those. In particular we largely rewrote the text layout engine for better performance but it had a couple of edge cases that needed sorting out, and due to a rather complicated issue with the way Construct is built, the left arrow key stopped working in r458. It should be back to normal now!

There have been some reports of Layout View glitches that we could not reproduce in r458. The main change to rendering in that release is that WebGPU (a more modern graphics technology) is now enabled by default for both the editor and runtime, whereas previously it used the older WebGL. It is possible some systems have graphics driver bugs that cause problems with WebGPU only. If you are having trouble with rendering glitches in the Layout View, try checking for any available system software updates or for a graphics driver update. Otherwise, you can disable WebGPU for the editor in Settings, and for your project in Project Properties. If you consistently see the same rendering issue with WebGPU across different devices, please do still file an issue with us, as it may then be an issue with Construct itself.

In case you missed it, see the r458 release notes here which summarizes the main improvements in this stable release, as well as some compatibility news.

      Please file an issue in our bug tracker so we can take a look into it. We have a lot of work so mentions of problems in other channels, like this comment section are easily overlooked.

  • glad to have left arrow key back :)

  • phew, i thought it was my keyboard that broke!

  • Hello Construct 3 Team,

    I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to kindly request that you please update the Facebook Instant Games plugin in Construct 3. The current version appears to be outdated and no longer fully compatible with Meta’s latest Instant Games SDK (Version 8.0).

    This outdated implementation causes issues when exporting to Facebook Instant Games, including SDK initialization errors and deprecated method calls such as FBInstant.player.getName() and getID(). As a result, games exported from Construct 3 fail Meta’s review or remain stuck on a black screen during startup.

    An updated plugin that supports the latest SDK 8.0 (and includes the new ad initialization logic) would be extremely helpful for developers who rely on Construct 3 for publishing to Instant Games.

    Thank you very much for your time and for keeping Construct 3 up to date!

    Best regards,

  • Hello guys.

    I would love to have access to full version back. I just paid my monthly subscription fee but am still getting free version

  • Left arrow not working was simultaneously surprising, annoying and funny lol

    Thanks for the quick fix!
